4 Summer Looks, Plus The Easy Additions That Take Them Straight Into Fall

Where I grew up in Massachusetts, there were two things you could depend on during those blissful summer months: piping hot days and cool nights and mornings. We’d be wrapped in sweatshirts when our parents dropped us off at day camp, only to shed all our layers by the time afternoon (and sometimes even mid-morning) hit.

With summer in full swing, there’s no better time to outfit your girl in gear that keeps her cool for backyard sports, camp adventures, and everything else she’s going to get up to in her three months off. Look no further than Athleta Girl: With new colors and prints in the brand’s most-loved styles, you can shop looks that’ll slay all summer long, and bonus: stock up on the layering pieces she needs to keep rocking her warm-weather looks when September starts.

If shopping for a bunch of new clothes feels like a ton of work to take on all at once, don’t fret: Romper teamed up with Athleta Girl to do the heavy lifting for you. Together, they created a lookbook chock-full of summer outfits and the easy additions that’ll take them straight into fall. Keep scrolling and let us make your summer shopping routine just a little bit easier.

1. A Colorful Combo With A Touch Of Cozy

This lightweight and breathable tank has mesh detailing for ample ventilation, making it an instant staple for those toasty days spent outdoors. Get matchy with the All Play 3” Short — a drawstring short with side pockets that zip to secure her favorite items — in a playfully coordinated color palette.

Top it all off with a soft, brushed polyester-lycra blend sweatshirt for a stretchy, cozy top layer that she’ll look forward to throwing on after class or practice this fall. It’s got thumb holes to keep the sleeves in place, plus unique hemming on the back to give it a little bit of added flair.

2. An Ocean-Hued Look That Goes Beyond The Beach

When she needs a little extra support, set her up with this buttery soft bra made out of Athleta’s fan-favorite Powervita™ fabric. The racerback design allows for a full range of motion so she’ll never feel constricted on those extra sporty days. Channel the ocean’s blue waters with a capri in an eye-catching teal, and finish the look with a jacket made for breezy days and campfire nights on the beach.

She’ll feel great wrapped in the jacket’s lightweight organic cotton, and bonus: an internal mesh pocket keeps what’s special to her — whether it’s a lip balm or a favorite seashell — safely in place.

3. Cool Neutrals With A Pop Of Color

On days when she wants to feel her strongest, start out with this lightweight camo printed tank with built-in layers that’ll keep her prepared for those chilly summer mornings. Pair it with a light-as-air recycled polyester short that in a candy apple red that refuses to be ignored. Make sure she’s prepped for outdoor adventures and (and soon, after-school practice) with a super soft, stretchy, and on-trend tie-dye sweatshirt made from sustainable Modal™ fabric.

4. A Pretty Pink Set With A Jacket That Goes The Extra Mile

Lean into the matching set trend with this dusty pink combo. The loose-fitting tee has ultra-soft ribbing for easy movement, plus all-around stretch means she can be as active as she wants all summer long. The pants are made from buttery soft Powervita™ and boast a pocket that fits a cell phone, plus an adjustable waist so they can grow with her.

Top it all off with a bright white jacket that has plenty of pockets and UPF 30+ protection so you can relax no matter how much time she spends soaking up the late summer sun.
